Morris garage.

Uploaded for the 'Guess where in Oxford' group and guessed by AJR2006. Between 1910 and 1911 William Richard Morris' landlords, Merton College, established a new building on the Longwall Street site, known thereafter as the Morris Garage. It was here, in 1912, that he designed his first car, the Bullnose Morris, which was manufactured at a disused military training college in Hollow Way, Cowley. Although later converted to residential accommodation, the frontage of the old garage in Longwall Street has been carefully preserved, and now features a display window celebrating Morris's achievements.
